The Best Spinach Chicken Soup
We love to have soup for lunches during the fall…. really anytime during the year! I love this soup because of the spinach that is included in the recipe. You can easily swap out another leafy green like kale if you would rather.

Serve this soup with crusty bread and grated Parmesan cheese to make it a meal. I could really eat this chicken spinach soup 2-3 times per week. Make a pot of this on a Sunday afternoon and then take with you to work for a light and easy lunch.
This soup heats up well in the microwave or on the stovetop. Yummy!
